Yates: “When I drove up on the scene, I noticed two unmarked vehicles at the intersection, with tinted windows and a few assault rifles lying in front of the driveway. As I got closer l turned off my car engine and laid low for a few minutes. Then I hopped out and took cover behind my vehicle. I then grabbed my binoculars and began looking around to make sure the coast was clear. I noticed one of the unmarked vehicles had two assault rifles sticking out of the back window, so I identified myself. I said, ‘My name is Detective Yates from the 14th precinct. Lay your weapons on the ground. Turn and face me, put your hands in the air and come out quietly!’ At this point I identified the suspect as Bones the convict. I immediately observed what appeared to be a gunshot wound and blood gushing from the middle section on the upper part of his chest”. 

Knox: “What happened Yates, you shoot first then ask questions later?”

Yates: “I don’t like the way this conversation is going. I was acting in self-defense, so I don’t know why I’m being interrogated”. 

Knox: “So what are you trying to say? He was shot prior to your arrival?” 

Yates: “Apparently”. 

Knox: “After you had an altercation with the person in question, what did you do next?” 

Yates: “Bones continued shooting, while I took cover behind my vehicle. Again I instructed him to show his hands. Bones launched towards his vehicle and fired on me with what I ascertain to be a K-47 an assault rifle. I returned fire and took cover while Bones continued to engage me. When he paused to reload, I immediately pulled out my Glock 45 caliber from my holster, along with my binoculars to get a clear and effective shot.

At that point, I seized the opportunity to take an effective shot”. 

Stitch: “Yates; this is what I would really like to know, what were you doing in Detroit, 42nd Street 7th Avenue without any back-up?” 

Yates: “I am not at liberty to elaborate on this particular subject. The fact of the matter is, I was attending to a family matter. Which I think is still legal. Isn’t it?” 

Knox: “No need to get all bent out of shape. We just wanted to know exactly what transpired between you and the person in question”. 

Yates: “Are we done?” 

Knox: “Don’t leave town until we are finished with our investigation. We are done here”.
